Tuesday and 10 and A Pile of Boxes and The Last Day Of School

Oh how I love the sound of boxes and packing tape. (Especially when that sound was delayed by 5.5 hours yesterday because of a traffic back-up at our gate to get on base. Thanks, gate guards, for keeping us safe... but my movers have GOT to get here. Please.)

Oh how I love the last day of school. (Except that the boy is sad to say goodbye to his friends. And that makes me sad.)

So here's some random fun on this sad, busy, crazy Tuesday.
Go to Roots and Rings to join in...


1. How do you pronounce the word aunt? Does your pronunciation rhyme with ‘haunt’ or ‘can’t'?
It rhymes with "can't." Like the bug. It cracks up my little neighbor when I say it... his family is from the North... where they say "auuuhhhhnnntt."

2. Do most of the people in your life know you blog? Or are you partially or totally anonymous?
I think most of them know.

3. When you grocery shop, do you prefer to bag your own groceries or do you like it when the store bags them for you? Paper, plastic, or reusable bags?
At our military commissary, most of them bag it for you. I don't mind at all doing it myself, though. And I use the reusable bags when I remember to get them out of the car.

4. Do you have a green thumb?
Haa! Nope.

5. If you watch the Food Network, which chef/show host is your favorite?
Have I told ya'll I have a crush on Bobby Flay? Guy Fieri's show makes me hungry, and Paula Deen makes me laugh. I also love Chopped and The Next Food Network Star.

6. Do you like to take baths? Do you take them very often?
They are ok. Showers are faster, and I think better in the shower.

7. What color are the walls in your kitchen?
That universal "builder's khaki" color.

8. Do you prefer to dine outdoors or indoors?
Ooooo... Outdoors is the best. Except for the flies. The flies around here are demonic and fat and slow and persistant. I hate flies.

9. Describe your ideal weather.
Cool enough in the evenings for long sleeves or a light sweater; warm and sunny in the day... never above 80ish. Ahhhhh. Does this place exist?

10. If you could learn any foreign language, which would you choose to learn?
Spanish. (I know, I know... the rest of you all are fluent in Spanish. Not me. Yet.)

Have a blessed Tuesday, friends.
